After reading on how effective biquad antennas where for wifi, I'm experimenting with an 855.00mhz antenna designed for a truncked system 40+ miles north of my house (I'll build a yagi some day and see which one preforms best). I used a biquad calculator for some exact measurements and I am coming up with conflicting information. Each element should be 1/4 wave length long, correct? The elements should be 3 5/16" (84.1375mm) each. But the calculator I used states that the elements should be 3 21/23" (85.1mm). The calculator also states that the over-all measurement of the antenna should be 9 3/8" (238.2mm) and my finished antenna is around 10 3/8".
I used the following calculator, Online Calculator .:. Bi-Quad Antenna
I think I'll spend my night tonight re constructing a new antenna with true 1/4 wave length elements. I just wanted someone elses opinion on the subject because I'm only a 3 day old biquad enthusiast
